Epizootic
In epizoology, an epizootic (from Greek: epi- upon + zoon animal) is a
disease event in a nonhuman animal population, analogous to an
epidemic in humans. An epizootic may be: restricted to a specific
locale (an "outbreak"), general (an "epizootic") or widespread
("panzootic"). High population density is a major contributing factor
to epizootics.
AquacultureAquaculture is an industry sometimes plagued by disease
because of the large number of fish confined to a small area.
Defining an epizootic can be subjective; it is based upon the number
of new cases in a given animal population, during a given period, and
must be judged to be a rate that substantially exceeds what is
expected based on recent experience (i.e. a sharp elevation in the
incidence rate)
